Hey fellow gamers! As a dedicated Infinity Nikki player since the Terra's Call (2.0) update dropped in 2025, I've been exploring every nook and cranny of Itzaland, and let me tell you, the new outfits are a game-changer. But have you ever felt frustrated trying to sneak past those towering Behemoths without getting spotted? I sure did—until I discovered the Sound of Leaves outfit. This isn't just another fashion piece; it's a stealth powerhouse that lets you move around Behemoths undetected, making exploration a breeze. In this guide, I'll walk you through exactly how to unlock and craft it, based on my own adventures. Trust me, it's worth the effort!

First off, unlocking the Sound of Leaves outfit requires completing four specific Behemoth-related sidequests in Elderwood Forest. Why start here? Well, this area is packed with challenges, but the rewards are immense. The bulk of the work comes from Monty, an NPC photographer who's obsessed with capturing Behemoths on camera. You'll find him near the Giant Vine Forest North Adventurer Camp warp spire, and he offers three 'Risky Photography' quests. Now, you might be thinking, 'Is this dangerous?' Not at all! You can snap photos from a safe distance, so no need to risk a close encounter. Here's a quick breakdown of Monty's quests:

  • ✅ Risky Photography: Common Behemoth: Head west of the Giant Vine Forest North Adventurer Camp warp spire. Just aim your camera, click, and you're done—easy peasy!

  • ✅ Risky Photography: Frostbough Behemoth: This one's in the Forest of Slumber area. Keep an eye out for icy patches; the Behemoth blends in, but a quick photo does the trick.

  • ✅ Risky Photography: Dreambound Behemoth: Go south of the building near the same warp spire. It's a bit trickier to spot, but once you do, snap away from afar.

But wait, there's a catch! Before you can tackle that third quest from Monty, you need to help out Kalfie first. Have you met Kalfie yet? She's another NPC in Elderwood Forest who gives the 'Old Tears Shed Again: Behemoth' quest. In this mission, you'll rescue a Behemoth from Dark Essence and its Esseling minions. It's a fun, action-packed sequence—I loved freeing the poor creature! Once that's done, you can return to Monty for the final photography quest. Completing all four unlocks the outfit sketch, and that's when the real fun begins.

Now, onto crafting the Sound of Leaves outfit. After unlocking the sketch, head to your Sketches menu under the 'Stylish Outfits' tab. Here, you'll see all the materials needed—and I won't lie, it's a bit of a grind. But don't worry, most items can be gathered right in Elderwood Forest, which is super convenient. You can also buy some from the in-game store using Resonance, like Surging Ebb and Tranquility Droplets, if you've saved up enough. Or, if you're feeling lucky, use the Dig, Pear-Pal feature for rarer drops like Behemoth Mane Fur and Behemoth Paw Fur. To give you a clear overview, here's a table I made based on my crafting experience:

Material How to Obtain Location/Notes
Behemoth Mane Fur Dig, Pear-Pal feature Found in Elderwood Forest; drop rate is low, but worth it!
Behemoth Paw Fur Dig, Pear-Pal or quest rewards Same as above; can be purchased with Resonance if needed
Forest Essence Shards Gathering in Elderwood Forest Abundant near trees and rivers; easy to collect
Resonance Droplets In-game store purchase Use Surging Ebb or Tranquility for quick buys
Other Common Items Environmental foraging Scattered throughout the forest—just explore!

Once you've gathered everything, crafting is a breeze. Just go back to the Sketches menu, hit 'Select All', and boom—the whole outfit is yours! I remember the first time I equipped it; slipping past Behemoths felt like magic. 😊 But why stop there? This outfit has saved me hours in exploration, and with the 2025 updates, it's more relevant than ever. So, what are you waiting for? Dive into Elderwood Forest and start your quest—you won't regret it!
